I have a question about using ipmi_watchdog, ipmitool, and another open 
source program ipmisensors together
at the same time.

ipmitool uses the /dev/ipmi0 char interface. So does (can) 
ipmi_watchdog. ipmisensors uses ipmi_settime(..) to send
messages via KCS.

Question: is there any type of file locking going on for /dev/ipmi0 
device when two programs attempt to use the
/dev/ipmi0 interface?

Thanks.

Dave
